Ingredients

• 180 grams Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 450 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 120 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 240 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
• 150 grams Fresh berries or fruit topping (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to flatten it firmly. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined and free of lumps.

Step 5

Add vanilla extract and mix again until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream while combining.

Step 8

Spoon the filling onto the prepared crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.

Step 10

Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice into portions, and serve plain or topped with fresh berries or your favorite fruit topping. Enjoy!
